You have it Backwards, Playstation NOW leads above Xbox GamePass

Gamepass doesn't win anything when Now has more games, the ability to download some of the games too as well as streaming, and an exclusive library in the hundreds available of games people actually want to play. The Stats don't reflect it and the raw subscribers don't.

How many of these games are exclusive to the PlayStation ecosystem?

On first glance I see

• Uncharted 1 - 3 and The Last of Us (only the PS3 versions of these 4 games and only as stream with lag + artifacts... not the best way to play these games with the PS4 versions available for years)
• 5 Ratchet & Clank games (PS3 stream, no download option, PS4 remake not included)
• The Sly Collection (PS3 stream of the PS2 games, no download option, PS3 successor not included)
• Ico & Shadow of the Colossus (PS3 stream of the PS2 games, no download option, PS4 remake not included)
• Infamous 1 + 2 + DLC (PS3 stream, no download option, PS4 successors not included)
• 5 God of War games (PS3 stream, no download option)
• God of War III Remastered (PS4 stream + download!)
• Twisted Metal (PS3 stream, no download option)
• MotorStorm: Apocalypse (PS3 stream, no download option)
• Echochrome (PS3 stream, no download option)
• Killzone 1 - 3 (PS3 stream, no download option)
• Killzone: Shadow Fall  (PS4 stream + download!)
• Bloodborne (PS4 stream + download!)
• Until Dawn, Beyond: Two Souls and Heavy Rain (PS4 stream + download!)
• DriveClub (PS4 stream, no download option?)
• some small stuff (Echochrome, Resogun, The Unfinished Swan...)

Not bad, but neither hundreds of exclusives either.

The Playstation PSNow page advertises 275+ games available for download to the console. I am not sure which are the ones available.

I can say "Ones that people actually want to play" because sales numbers are pooling in PSNow's favor over Gamepass. They do apparently prefer the shoddy Now versions in stream and/or download. It is an attractive library to somebody, more than Gamepass.

Picking apart the streamable games on technical level is pointless. Streaming is NEVER going to offer a superior experience to native hardware. It will always be a question is it good enough? And for many....it is. It will also improve with time.

Like......are we expecting xCloud to not be bottlenecked by internet speeds? Are we expecting Stream gaming to offer no latency....when local game performance usually still has latency? While it might undoubtedly be better than PSNow latency......but how much better? 

I think all of that is a pipe dream fantasy and wishful thinking.
